Love watching the Miami Heat, or whichever NBA team happens to be your favorite, and don't really care about any of the others? Now, if you're a Dish customer, you can pay for just your team's games and nothing more.

The satellite cable TV provider on Tuesday launched NBA Team Pass, allowing fans to access a single team's live out-of-market games throughout the regular season for $119. Dish will continue to offer the full NBA League Pass for $199 with up to 40 live out-of-market games from around the league every week, and on demand coverage. The new single-team offering is available for any one of the NBA's 30 teams.

Dish says this makes it the only pay TV provider that lets fans choose whether they'd like to follow only their favorite NBA team or the entire league.

"As the NBA laces up for a new season, Dish is giving customers the choice of following the entire league or picking their favorite team," the company's vice president of programming Josh Clark said in a statement. "Now an NBA fan on the East Coast who wants to follow just their favorite West Coast team can opt for NBA Team Pass."

To kick things off, Dish today unlocked a NBA League Pass free preview for all customers, which runs through Nov. 1.

After that, Dish customers can add the NBA Team Pass or League Pass for the 2016-2017 season by calling 1-877-DISH PPV (347-4778). You can either pay in full or in four installments of $29.75 for a Team Pass, or in four installments of $49.75 for the full League Pass.
